Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) - Kedron Brook Wetlands Reserve, Brisbane, Australia - May 2024
A very similar shot to yesterday, but this time using what I've learned about masking in darktable to pull the cockatoo out of the background some more.
[Demande d'identification] [Bird identification👇] Petite demande pour les fans d'oiseaux du Fediverse, j'ai photographié cet oiseau tout à l'heure (désolé pour la qualité des agrandissements). Je me demande s'il ne s'agirait pas d'une buse pattue (notamment avec la queue blanche et sa barre noire).
Pour les infos, je suis en France et plus précisément dans le nord de Indre (plusieurs individus observés plus au sud ).
[Identification request] [Bird identification👇] Just a quick request for Fediverse bird fans, I photographed this bird earlier (sorry about the quality of the enlargements). I wonder if it could be a rough-legged buzzard (especially with the white tail and black bar).
For information, I'm in France and more precisely in the north of Indre (several individuals observed further south).
#GreaterSageGrouse is a remarkable species unlike any other. This iconic species is losing its #habitat. Since 1965, the population has declined by 80%.
The #sagebrush plains are the only place where the greater sage #grouse lives. Losing more habitat to drilling, mining or other human activity would threaten this #bird and its wondrous mating display.
Sometimes you just get lucky. This little yellow warbler literally landed in front of us, and is nicely highlighted by the sun just behind and to the right.
Another for #StandingStoneSunday: while I was there a skylark flew down and lit on a stone at Scotland's Tomnaverie stone circle. I was thrilled because Shelley's To a Skylark was one of my favorite poems when I was young but we don't have them in the States. I got to see and hear them plenty during my visit. #Scotland#bird#birds#skylark#tomnaverie
Talking to Marie in the kitchen and we hear a strange rustling on our back patio. She opens the curtain, and is greeted by a young owl full wing spread knocking over stuff we had stacked back there. I got a couple shots through the dirty sliding door and screen. DAMN nature. You freaky!
I tried cleaning up the Owl profile pic with a little editing. Considering this was shot at dusk, through a dirty sliding door, and a filthy screen, I'm really impressed with what the OnePlus 12 telephoto camera was able to do! https://www.flickr.com/photos/jickbahtech/53732259950/in/dateposted/
